Chickey Delta Phi (00:02)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm Colby and this is the Summer Chronicles. Let's get into it.

Yo, what is up everyone? Welcome back to Chickey Delta Phi I'm your host, Caiya and I'm 25. This is going to be a shorter episode, but I just wanted to come on and reflect and to be grateful for the things that I've experienced these last 25 years and to maybe give back a life lesson and also give an update of what's going on. As I turned 25, I'm one year closer to getting kicked off of the insurance and I'm reminded of that every single

Almost every single month I'm reminded of me possibly losing my insurance. It sucks, but I'm going to enjoy this next year that I still have it and everything. Hopefully it's a little bit cheaper, but um, but yeah, I'll be losing my insurance. I'm not really excited about that because I kind of don't make enough to pay for that. I'm grateful that my mother has been helping with that and everything.

But it is time for me to start growing up, because I am five years away from 30. That is disgusting. But ⁓ yeah, it's different. As I get older, I realize that the world is definitely ever-changing. There's always something going on. And I realize that these last few months. And it's not going to get any better. It's going to get harder before it gets easier.

And I will say for those that did graduate this year, just take every day one day at a time. Like if you make a mistake, well, keep going. ⁓ If you think that the class is too hard, drop in and take something else. Find something that works for you because everybody's on a different level and that is okay. You're not going to be the same as the person on your left or the same as a person on your right. You got to keep going. And I will say that

Everyone takes a different path. Everyone has a different trajectory in this life and how you take it and evolve it to how you want it is up to you. And I didn't take the usual route of going to college. I went to like a police prep college. We still don't talk about that, but I went to a police prep college. I didn't really go to a four year. Hell, I didn't even go to a community college, but it definitely stood my path differently.

And it's like, yeah, I had that little experience, but as I'm getting older, having that experience definitely helped mold me into a different person, because I'm not sure the person that I would have become had I not taken the opportunity to go play college basketball. And I'm grateful for that opportunity, because not only did I get to play the game at the next level, but I also got to experience life differently.

I experienced it in a different state, people that weren't really my family that turned into family. And I made some choices that changed everything. And that is the whole point of life. You have to adapt and change to your environment. And that's what I did. And as I go into this next journey, it is something different. And then I say like, yeah, your frontal lobe develops at 25.

I think mine developed like 22, but I kind of don't take, I don't take anybody's crap anymore. Like I refuse to, like, I don't let people disrespect me. I don't let people just say whatever to me because it's like, you're not going to talk to me. You're not going to belittle me in a way that it's going to break me down as a person because I have grown to be independent and to stand up for myself. And I'm going to do just that.

I don't care about the repercussions that come along with it because at the end of the day, I'm an adult and you're an adult. You got to move past it. But, um, I think some good things coming out of being 20, being 25 is maybe like, I'm not gonna say being more caring, but being more selfish in a way. And when I say being more selfish, it's like, I, I mainly do things for others. Like I'm like a people pleaser sometimes, but I've been taking a step back and

putting myself first. And that is definitely a challenge, but I've been able to do it a little bit and I don't regret it. I've been just doing what I gotta do and putting myself first and taking care of the things that I want and I need definitely helps. Because if I didn't, I probably would still be in a predicament where I relied on the validation of other people or I seeked

a lot of approval from my peers when I don't need their approval to do anything or to achieve what I want. And I will say that it is, it's really different. Like at the time of me recording this, it's still my birthday, but it's like, some people don't really, it's like, I still care about my birthday cause my mom always went all out for me and everything. So I still care about it.

But how I see everything now, it's like, yeah, I care. But then again, it's also a day that I can do whatever I want and to relax. And I normally take time and just reflect on not only the current year, but the past years. And getting to 25 is not only, it's like a mid-century milestone or something. I'm not really sure, but it's like, it's a milestone. It's a milestone birthday.

making it to 25 and I'm grateful that I made it to 25. Hopefully I can continue to make it too many more years. But making it to 25, it's like damn.

A lot has happened. A lot has changed. I've been out of high school for a long time. I don't really reflect on high school as often, but a lot has changed. And I know in the beginning I said that I was talking about like the ever-changing world and the world has changed a lot in 25 years. And how I see it, that's not a good thing. Like the change that we have seen and experienced is not something

that we hoped for as kids. We hoped for a future where we could have a nice job, have a nice house, take care of the things that we want, take care of the people that we love, and just live peacefully. But that hasn't really been a thing for my generation. My generation is having to deal with wondering how we're gonna make more money.

because whatever your salary may be or your hourly wage may be, it's probably not enough. So we're having to figure that out. And then on top of that, you're going to college and it's like, you go to school and you're like, am I going to be able to have a job after graduation? A lot of my classmates have already graduated and everything, but it's like that next group, like they're trying to graduate and everything. But it's like, you're wondering if you're going to have a job coming up and

It's harder because this job market is not easy at all. And it's harder to get a job over the summertime because you have high schoolers working. It's harder to get like a really good salary job. Depending on your degree, like degree doesn't matter if you have a degree or not, it's harder to obtain a job because these jobs are making these expectations so high to the point where no one is ever going to get that job. And that's unfair to the working class.

And I think that we kind of got the short end of the stick when it was our turn to be the new adults. Like the baby boomers started it off. Yeah, they had to do after the Great Depression, but and we're doing like the Great Depression and World War II, but it's like, yeah, you had to do with war at home and everything. So like they kicked off everything and then you have that next generation and it's like, I, how I see it.

those who were in like the seventh, like the sixties, seventies and eighties had it just a little bit easier than us. Hell, they may have had it a whole lot easier, but they just had it a tad bit easier because things weren't as bad. Like, yeah, you had like the golf wars, you had the cold wars and all the other stuff. You had all that going on, but you still had a job. You still had a house. You could have.

You could be making, let's say, 10k a year. And that was enough for you to get to get a house and everything. You can't do that now. You got to be making like I saw like a report or something. You to make like $66 an hour just to afford everything. And no one's ever going to make that. We just say basic for your degree. And that is definitely not the way that we should be living. We're very, as human beings, we're very selfish.

And it shows like, like, we don't really care for anyone else. We see others being knocked down and we don't really do anything for them. see all these GoFundMe's, but are we donating to them? Probably not. We speak about change and everything, but what are we doing to like stand up for it? You know? And I think that as a...

Like as a human race, like we have to be better all around. And I know that there were some listeners from outside of America and I appreciate you guys for listening. And I want to know, like, how, like, how are things, like, how do you guys see the U S and everything? Like, not just because, like, not just through like your political leader, but you as a person, how do you see the things that are happening in America? And how do you think?

we can make like a turnaround for it because the people like the you like as a US citizen, it's kind of hard to do all that when everybody's in their own bubble and they're only trying to fight for them. what I got wondering, what can we do if we all came together to get the change that we want? Like higher pay is always going to be an important thing because no one should be making

Seven dollars an hour. That's the minimum wage. Nobody's making seven dollars an hour and trying to make a living out of that. That is unfair. And there are people from like my own experiences like that I've seen. They're like, I'm not gonna say they're middle aged, but they're older and they're having to almost work two jobs just to make ends meet and they're struggling financially.

because they can't afford to keep the lights on while also going to their doctor's appointments or trying to get a doctor's appointment. You have to make a sacrifice to get like to get something. Like if you want to keep your lights on, you can't go to the doctors. But if you're really in pain, you're going to have to turn the lights off. And we shouldn't have to live like that. We shouldn't have to live where we have to decide what's more important, having food under the table or having running water.

And I think that things are only going to get worse before they get better. I wholeheartedly believe as a nation, we got to do better. And that's not just me saying that because I'm 25 now. I'm saying that just as a human being, like we all have to band together, put aside our political differences or whatever. And meet in the middle and agree on a, agree on a statement that affects all of us, not just one.

And it's like, we're always trying to do something to help ourselves, but what are we doing to help others? The homeless rate is only going to get higher. And I've heard this saying many, many, many, many times. There's always a person and they're always going to be one paycheck away from being homeless.

And I think that goes for anybody. Like if you, if you know you're not making enough and you miss a paycheck or your paycheck is way less than what you intended on, you're pushing that threshold of homelessness. And that's not how it should be. A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck and they rely on that money. But if they're not getting the proper funding that they need out of their workday, then that's not on them. That's on.

the business that they're working for that is making it harder for them. And I get like the whole business side of everything, but if you want to keep your people happy, you would do whatever it takes to make sure that they have the proper needs that they require.

And if somebody gets hurt in the job, it's like, yeah, they still get paid, but it's not enough to the point where they can just sit around and not do anything. They still have to work. They still have to go out and do what is necessary to make ends meet.

And we shouldn't be forcing people to work 10 times harder for scraps.

That's not what this country is built on. And that's not how society should be. We have to remember that it is not just about us. It is about our neighbors. Not saying the neighbors in your neighborhood, but the person next to you. You never know what someone is going through. But if you can help, just help.

Because at the end of the day, like your heart is in the right place and that's all that really matters. If you feel moved and compelled to help somebody, do it, but don't help them and then be like, oh, well, I'm expecting this in return. You were doing it out of the kindness out of your heart. Why not just be kind to one, one another? And that is our problem. We're not kind enough to one another. And that's just terrible as people, as a person. We're more.

selfish. And it definitely showed after the pandemic and everything, like we've become very selfish in a way that we only work for ourselves. But ⁓ it's just crazy how I see everything. Like, it's not how I see everything now. It's just how I have been seeing everything. We just become like walking robots a little bit. And it's kind of sad when you really think about it. It's like somebody could be asking,

for five bucks just to get a book, like not even get a book. Like they can be asking for $5 to help with like books or like, yeah, probably books for school or something like that. just needed $5 to help with books. But what type of like, we'll look at it. We won't donate. We'll just keep going. But if you have, if you feel compelled to do it, just do it. medical expenses is like a lot more people are putting down money to do, um,

to get like medical expenses paid for. And I wish that we lived in a society where like Medicare was universal for everybody. Like I'm not saying free healthcare, but I'm saying like if we had like, if you had to pay like a minimum or something and the minimum gave you like a good handful of benefits, obviously not all, but a good handful to make you, to allow you to cover certain things. But even like having

best of the best insurance is like you still got to pay a lot in that copay or the like that insurance company they pick and choose what they want to do and I don't think that's fair at all

But, I definitely hope for change. I definitely hope that we can do something different and that the world changes for the better. Cause like I said, it's only going to get worse for it gets better, but, turning into something maybe a little bit lighter. I have been working on, I've been working on a discord for the podcast and

I've been working on it for like a week or so now. It's going to have special chats for these groups that are making and the groups I'll have like a whole thing, like a whole bunch of information for that later, but it's going to be four groups and each group is categorized by a test. And I'm going to link the test and like the description.

But you can take this test and it's seven questions and you keep track of your answers. So if we answer mainly A's, you're being group one, B's group two, C's group three and so forth. ⁓ but if you have a mix of like, I'm not going to say it's going to be half A or half B, but if you have like a good mix where it's kind of like undecided, like if you have three A's, two B's and a C.

I would say you choose the one that's most likely describes you. And depending on the groups that you get into, you'll be in a Discord chat just for that. And with the Discord chat, it'll be exclusive chats for your group. There's going to be games, there's going to be like, it's going to be something. And I know I post on Instagram sometimes.

But making the discord is going to allow me to send announcements without even having to post on Instagram sometimes. So it's like, if I'm not able to post on Instagram, like make an edit and post, I can literally just send like an announcement through the discord and you can have that. if it's like, episode so-and-so is delayed, you'll still have like knowledge of it. And with these groups, depending on your group, well, I wouldn't say depending on the group, but you will have exclusive information.

And there, will say there is a title for the people that have been listening since day one. There is a title called Rotisserie Royalty. And with that title, you'll get it's only limited certain amount of people. But with that title, you'll get like behind the scenes of like how we do the podcast. You'll get first input of what you want to see in that episode. And you'll be able to like to create polls for other people.

to see like what can, like, what can we do better for you? And so having this discord kind of brings us all together, like bringing us like as like a family, because like at the end of the day, I you guys are like family. So having the discord will allow us to be a little bit closer. It may be a smaller group, but as we continue to progress, it'll be a little bit bigger. Hopefully it'll get bigger, but having a smaller group will kind of give us more like one-on-one time with you guys and to.

really interact with our listeners. And it's not just for people that stay in the U S I know we're based in the United States, but it's not just for us. It is for whoever is listening in whatever country that you are in. If you speak a different language, that is okay. If you have to put it in your native language, we will translate it as best as possible and go from there. ⁓ if you have broken English, that is fine. Like we can also help you.

learn English better and everything and ⁓ that is like my whole goal is to have a Discord for you guys to where we can all interact as one and I will say that ⁓ I have come up with a name to call the listener and there's like a bunch of stuff coming with that but that will be explained hopefully next week but I'm excited to ⁓ finish up this Discord. Like I said, I've been working on it for

a week or so and I've been making a lot of progress on it. But if you take the quiz and in the description, make sure to add your Discord username so that when everything is finalized, you have your title and everything and you'd be ready to go. And I think if you've been looking at the Instagram, I have made a announcement post for July and August. And obviously we're in August now, but ⁓ the Discord is one of the things that I was adding.

There is I'm bringing back the sports talk in the fall. I have a few people that ⁓ that are currently college athletes that I'm bringing onto the podcast and I'm going to let them talk about like their expectations for their season, how they fell in love with their sport and maybe like some funny moments and like like maybe funny moments and like one like their proudest moments.

It's gonna make a whole little interview and everything, but we're gonna start doing that in the fall time. And then we're also gonna add people that don't really know sports and have some fun with that as well. So it's like a lot of things that are being planned for the show. And I'm excited to just do more. I know I talk about doing more all the time, but I definitely want to do more and share my ideas with you guys.

There's another thing that I'm going to do as well, which is going to be, I'm making a music playlist. I'm sure that I mentioned this a while ago, but having a music playlist is something that I've always wanted to do on the show. And so with that, we're going to have, ⁓ like a link later about it, but it's going to be a, it's going to be a playlist made for you, but it's going to have music that kind of like built like

that kind of built the podcast. if you ever seen our Instagram listen to some of the music that I post on there, that's things that like kind of like deliver that vibe. So some of the music that you have heard on the Instagram, like during certain posts and everything, you'll hear that it's going to be music that you guys have added and it's not going to be limited. Just like the discord is not just for people in the U.S. It's not just for people with an iPhone.

It will be on Spotify and Apple Music. So if you have a Spotify subscription, it'll be on there. If you have Apple Music, it'll be on there as well. So we want to make sure that you guys have a playlist that you can listen to. And it's going to be an ever changing playlist to where music will continue to be added. And there's a whole theme with it. So there's going to be a description of that as well. But I think the main theme for music, music wise is going to be.

Kind of different. So it's going to include like music from the eighties all the way to now. So you're going to have things from, um, like good throwbacks. You're going to have good throwbacks and it's going to be good music that you listen to when you're driving on like long car rides. I mean, you don't want to listen to the podcast. You're just going to put it in the playlist. You can do that. And I'm excited to share that with you guys. And I think I have another one. We're bringing the news to you.

I know that I'm very informative sometimes when I do the podcast by myself and I want to start doing more of that. So it's not just about the things that are going on here at home, but it'll be things that cover what's going on around the world. And I feel like a lot of people don't watch the news anymore. And I've probably said that in the very beginning when we started the show, but a lot of people don't watch the news and

I want to be able to keep you informed, but not just Google searches. Like we're going to go in depth on the things that we see and get our information correct because we don't want to spread anything that is false or twisted in a way that it's not a hundred percent true. We want to be very transparent with you guys and really give our insight of what's going on. So we'll not only be informative, but telling our side as well. And there is a lot of things that I want to talk about and there's like,

It's like bringing in the news, but also discussing like police body camps with y'all. Cause like, I don't know about you guys, but I've been watching a lot of police body camps every single morning before I go into work. And some of these stories are like the craziest things I've ever seen. And I've told this one story on, I think Saturday and it was about this late. Like I saw it on Tik Tok and I just Googled, I Googled it on YouTube and I found it and I was like, Hmm. It was only like an eight minute video.

But long story short, this little girl went to elementary school and she was telling her friends and her teacher that her family had like a, I'm trying to like how to describe this. They had like a, like a small baby in a box and nobody knew what she was talking about. So they had called ⁓ law enforcement and law enforcement showed up to the house and they're asking about like, Hey, like what's going on? There's like reports that there's something in a box.

And the mom was like, what the hell? Like she was like, I don't know what she's talking about. But then realized that ⁓ her sister had like a miscarriage and they didn't have like a proper burial for it for the baby and everything. So they kind of just put in a box and put in the backyard. And it it kept getting crazy and crazier as the video went on to the point where ⁓

Like the cops are like, they were very confused about what's going on and they didn't want to get a warrant, but they had to call like the sergeant and everything. And I'm trying to like, keep it like kind of simple without getting vague about it. Cause it got crazy, but pretty much they got to the box. There was nothing in the box and they were like, what happened to the thing? And pretty much it just, it got up and it walked away. It didn't get up and walked away.

walk away, but ⁓ it did. It wasn't there anymore. And they were like, yeah, I don't know what happened to it. It wasn't a box, but it's not in the box anymore. And it was pretty small. if you ever seen like those small, like plastic babies that they, that they sell on Amazon, was pretty much like maybe a little bit bigger than that. But it was very small to the point where the cops were like, well, there's not really much we can do because it was so small.

And they were like, if it was in like a shoe box, like bigger than a shoe box, then that's when they would have to get, like extra warrants and like an investigation and like started and everything, but they didn't have to. But the cop was like, ⁓ well, maybe, maybe we have a conversation with your daughter moving forward. So we don't have this incident again. And it was like, it was crazy because like, how this story, like how everything progressed.

everything like it I'm gonna say it made sense but that whole entire family was just off and if you want to watch it yourself you can literally go on YouTube and look up police body cam a baby in a box and it'll literally give you like the eight minute video for it and it's like it's crazy because it's like obviously like they don't show like there's no like actual baby like I'm gonna say actual but there's no like

It's nothing like sickening or anything. It's literally just like an empty box. But if you want to watch the whole thing, feel free to, cause like, like I said, it gets crazy and it's only like a few minutes long. So it's not too, it's not like too long. ⁓ and I think like I've also been watching like stuff from like EDP watch. Like if you watch JD and everything, like those are some crazy ass stories and investigations on people. And it's like, people are weird and sometimes like.

It's people that don't even fit the description of being one of type, like being a cupcake lover or pizza lover. But, ⁓ it's like, like sometimes like, was like, how was it? I would be watching videos and it would be like people that you would never expect to do it. And sometimes it's like, it's older people, like older people, younger people. And sometimes you do have the people that they literally fit the description and they literally look like.

the person that would do something like that. It's like, it's so insane. if you ever, if you have not watched a Gideon video, please go watch a Gideon video. It's like, he's entertaining in the things like, he's not like most YouTubers where they get violent if they find a pizza lover. He actually talks to people and tries to understand why they did it or not even or like the why they did it and what led them to get into that point. Because there's always something that goes on in their head.

where they do it like something happened to them when they were a kid or they just never had friends or they just didn't they just have a mental disorder they just don't know right from wrong like that's crazy but those videos like they're entertaining because it shows you like there is some like comedy to it but it just like depends but it's mainly like he's sitting down with these people he's having a conversation with them he's trying to figure out what the hell are they talking about but ⁓

I like over I kind of got sidetracked on that, but I do want to add like stuff like that onto the show where me and Kobe can talk about it or if it's just me, I can talk about it. Or if you have a guest, we can literally have that conversation. Like we want to be. Well, I'm not saying we, I want to be as transparent as possible with you guys, whether it's being informative or telling a joke or just telling a story. want to let you guys know like what's going on and.

The one thing that I will say with the news, if we bring on like news articles and stuff, we will continue to not add religion and politics to it just because everyone has their own beliefs and views on certain things and you are entitled to that. We're not going to disrespect you or try to start an argument with you. So anything political and religious, we're just going to keep it out because that's not what this show is about.

And we're going to continue to keep it that way, out of respect for other people. Like we respect your belief, we respect your religion. We're not trying to step on any eggshells with that. And Summer Chronicles is being extended. ⁓ Sorry about that, but Summer Chronicles will be extended all the way to the first week of October. And how I'm looking at it right now, I may just push it to the second week, because why not?

But it will be extended because I've been having to deal with being sick. I've been traveling. I've been in a whole bunch of stuff. So it's just going to be extended just a little bit. But we do have some good stories. There's an episode that there's an episode that I teased earlier. And I will say that is my favorite episode that we are going to create. We already have like the whole layout of how we want to do it. And I will say it is very thought out and planned in a way that

I think it's like three or four like segments of it. So it's going to be maybe 30 minutes to an hour, but, ⁓ it definitely is something that I really like. All I can say is that the title is called, ⁓ basketball and dinos. I think it's called basketball and dinos, but I just know it has something to do with dinosaurs. And, ⁓ but yeah, like that's like extending seven Chronicles. I wasn't going to, but I've only had one episode out for this. So.

Why not extend it? Why not have more fun? Just because you're going back to school does not mean the party stops. And to those who are starting back, I know a of people went back today and today as in Monday, I know a lot of you guys went back on Monday. Some of you guys went back Thursday or Friday of last week, but I hope you guys had a great first day back. If you are a senior, you know, it's going to be a good, it's going to be a good school year for you guys. If you are below senior.

So good. You're almost there. And I hope that you guys have nothing but success, that you stay focused and determined. If you play a sport, hope that you do great. No matter if you're playing JV or varsity, go be great. And there's a lot of changes and everything, but it is okay. It is your first week back. Things are going to work out. Don't stress about it. It's literally August. You'll be okay. And if you're unsure of something, don't be afraid to ask.

And if you're if you're driving to school now, just keep your eyes on the road. Be safe. And if you don't want to drive to school, get on that big block of cheese and ride the bus or have mom and pop take you to school in the car. But I hope you guys have a great, great, great day. They back to school and everything. And it's been a minute since I recorded and I kind of almost reached my time on this recording, but

I'm excited to be back working on the discord and just doing a whole bunch of like behind the scenes work on the podcast is definitely taking like, I'm going to say it's taking a toll, but it's taken a lot of my time and everything. And I'm grateful because I've been putting in a lot more work. I'm investing a lot of more time and money into this. So it's something that I really don't want to put down and just let it collect dust. And I know it kind of did that this summer, but, ⁓

If you guys enjoy the Summer Chronicles, please let me know. If you enjoyed it last year, let me know. And if there's something different that you want to see or hear, definitely let me know about that. ⁓ I want to also say that I am truly grateful for those that have been listening to the show, even during our brief hiatus and everything. You're the reason that pushes me to keep going because

If I was sitting at zero downloads for, let's say, two months or so, was like, oh, people are really stop listening to the podcast. But in these last two months or so, I've had, I think, at least 25 people to listen. And I thank you. Like, even though you listen to older episodes, it's keeping you entertained. You're finding the podcast and I'm grateful for that. And I'm always going to say that I'm grateful for you guys because I am. I truly am. Whether I know you.

Personally or whether I don't I love you and I'm and I'm truly grateful to have you as a listener and as a supporter and I can't wait to see the things that we continue to plan as the months go on and I can't wait to see How this episode that I've been talking about turns out like the basketball and dinos is definitely something that I'm excited for because I talked about my trip to New York and

That was a time in itself and I am truly grateful for the Atlanta dream for giving me the opportunity to not only go like go to New York, but actually go to the game there and to experience something that I've never I've never been up north. And it was definitely a great time that I had and I was able to bring my mom with me. And it was we had a good time, had pizza, went on a few Uber rides, walked around, saw Brad Pitt. It was it was a lot.

And it was I was grateful for the opportunity and that entire organization is one of the best organizations that I am grateful to be a part of. And.

I just, I love, I love the dream. Like I love basketball so much, having that, having that opportunity to cross off going to another arena in another state was definitely great. Cause I wasn't expecting to win and everything in the little contest, but being able to cross off New York on my arena bucket list definitely kicked off everything. And I'll explain more when we get that episode out for you guys, but

I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. hope you guys have like, if you have any, I'm not even gonna say I hope. If you guys have any input about what I said in the very beginning, please let me know. Like you can shoot me an email. You can send me a message on Instagram. Definitely, I wanna hear from you guys. Like how do you feel about the world changing? Like not changing, like just changing in general. How do you feel about the changing and how, if it affects you?

How does it affect you and what are you doing to keep your head afloat? And I want to hear from you guys and I want to know more about how certain things are affecting you. And I will say, if you guys ever need to reach out, you can definitely reach out to us. We'll get back to you within, I'm not even going to say 24 hours, I'll get back to you within a few minutes or so.

But I'm definitely going to be the person that like, you ever need to talk, like I'm, you can always like contact me, whether it's on my personal page or on our podcast page, you can always contact me. And when I get this discord going, I will definitely put in like maybe like a ticket bot or something like either like a ticket bot or just have like a private channel to where if you guys needed to ask a question or just to like have a conversation, you can do that because.

This show is small and it's small enough to where we can bring all the listeners together and we can literally form like a really tight, close family to where I can be personal with you guys and actually get to know you and vice versa. And it can hopefully get to a point where I can give actual shout outs to people in different countries that are saying like, ⁓ this person in Chile, thank you.

Like instead of saying, oh, if you're listening to Chile, thank you. Or if you're listening to Japan, thank you. I want to be able to personally get to know you guys and learn your names, learn who you are as a person and why you chose to stick with us and why you enjoyed our podcast.
